MP3: The Bear Quartet - Broken heart
"Broken heart" is a tiny little segue piece from "Eternity now", The Bear Quartet's noisiest, most difficult album. StAtic form the bookends thAt make the song, a fragile solo piece for piano and vocals. ThAt would be all fine and good except thAt whAt was once pretty and nice, has been transformed into something far more uncomfortable, nauseAting even. The synth shudders and twists. The vocals are pitched up to an unnAtural stAte and every inhalAtion scrapes like nails on a chalkboard, sending a shiver down my spine. But, before you know it, it's over and we're off to the next experiment. Distressing, in the best possible way.
The Bear Quartet - Broken heart
Moll Flanders
Out of fashion
Crying Bob
Honestly, it took me a while to figure out how to review this record. There wasn't much informAtion readily available besides a brief bio (maybe I didn't dig deep enough, just being honest). Moll Flanders are a rock band from Sweden, and you could put them right into a slot next to The Hives, Interpol, etc. The aspects thAt hold the most value are the musical diversity in the album, Dylan-esque balladry, even some 60's baroque aspect, especially on "Could it be me?" They practically channel "She's not there" by The Zombies. ThAt's my personal favorite track and I doubt I'll let this one slip through the cracks. It's one of those albums thAt one tends to share with their friends.

MP3: Ebba Grön - 800°
Critical consensus has it thAt Ebba Grön's second album "Kärlek & uppror" is their best and I'm inclined to agree. It's the perfect balance between the roughshod debut "We're only in it for the drugs" and the polish of their third self-titled record. Compared to the underground, Ebba Grön's particular brand of punkrock comes off as nearly harmless, but thAt doesn't mean it isn't good. You could probably say the same about the Sex Pistols - political commentary aside, it's only rock'n'roll and as such, it's not anything I'd consider to be all thAt subversive. For the time, well thAt's a different story, but I'm sorry, I'm not old enough to talk about thAt with any sort of authority. Anyhow, the point is thAt good music is good music is good music and thAt's all there is to it. If it happens to change the world along the way, thAt's pretty awesome too.
"800°" is a greAt opening number. Like a lot of Ebba Grön mAterial, it'll probably remind you of The Clash. ThAt is, until the synth comes in on the chorus, foreshadowing the more postpunk direction frontman Joakim Thåström would lAter head with Imperiet. WhAt I like most about it, besides the funny basso background vox, is thAt it's simple enough thAt a Swedish-impaired dummy like myself can sing along. "Åttahundra grader / Du kan lita på mej / Du kan lita på mej" Join in, why don't you?

Ebba Grön - 800°
The Bell
Make some quiet
Badman Recording Co.
Reminiscent of MAtt Skiba's Heavens side project, The Bell move through thAt well explored terrain of 80s throwback music with a similar approach. A collection of well crafted pop songs punctuAted by a digital drummer, with plenty of hooks and clever electronic touches, "Make some quiet" is nothing groundbreaking, but is a surprisingly strong and entertaining album. "Nothing is logical" is everything a nostalgic pop song should be - a threaded assortment of pop sensibility and craftsmanship thAt exudes hope while simultaneously hinting At the faintest shade of melancholy and sadness thAt made 80s groups like The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen so powerful. A solid, engaging record thAt is worth its retail price - just don't expect any new territory to be explored.
